Logos (Sports and School)

Hey all!

This week we are going to work with logos and logo design. If you are a football fan, you may have heard about a recently updated logo in the NFL. The Los Angeles Rams released their new logo around this time 5 years ago and you can see the before and after here:


What do you think? Personally, I like the old logo better and a lot of Rams fans felt the same way. The logo was met with a lot of push back and the internet was ready to let the team know about it:

LA Chargers logo next to the LA Rams new logo...
"Karen"

I show these more to laugh about it all but please know - being a graphic designer can be rough! Everyone is a critic and it does not matter what their background is with art or design. If they don't like it, there is a good chance they will let you know about it.

For your project this week, I would like you to take a shot redesigning a school, college/university or an athletic team's logo. This team's logo can be from...

- Professional
- College
- High School

Check out this cool example a local designer did for Forest Hills Central:

Old FHC Logo
New FHC Logo


And you can always take on the challenge of designing a logo/mascot for the Maroons! Think about it, how many times have you heard, "WhAt's A mArOoN?" Take a look at this Maroons logo a student designed a couple years ago...
